Say hello to my little friend! The Hotel de Glace Bear was SUPER excited to see us and was happy to pose for many photos.

We finally got away from our happy huggy bear and went off to explore the hotel, we tried sliding down the ice slide in the lobby, rocked to the sounds of DJ Phil Boisvert in the Ice Bar, dipped our fingers in snow taffy at the Sugar Shack, and ate pretty little cupcakes in the cafe.

With the temperature at a bone chilling -17C, I didn’t think I would be out galivanting for very long, but to my surprise I stayed hours longer than I expected. The secret? Dress warm and dance alot!
